I'm currently overclocking and the card goes to high 83c on stock volts, is this too high and can I afford to add some volts?

from what I have read you should be fine, personally anything above 80c and I get nervous. I havent really stressed my 7950 too much yet... I am waiting for better drivers before i do that.
my sapphire reachs 85C max when doing benchmarks running 1000/1500, with fan on auto and max fan speed was 50-51%
Usually playing the Max temp I ever saw here was 82 or 83 with fan on auto and max fan speed was 48-49%
Even with OC to 1200/1600 the max temperature I got was 86C with fan on auto and max speed was 52%, if I set the fan to 80% (really loud) then temperature goes to 66C
Really, i got 1187mV 1125/1510 and temps are 86C at 100% fan speed, gigabyte 7970WF OC
Seems kind of high to me at 100% fan speed? Maybe reseat the heatsink with new thermal paste?
